Magnesium pools
Magnesium pools
The warm end of the room, and where most people start. Mineral water held at a temperature you can comfortably sit in for a long time. That is the point, because the value is in staying put rather than passing through.
What it is
A magnesium-rich mineral pool, kept warm rather than hot, so you can sit in it long enough to actually settle. It is the gentlest thing in the room and the easiest place to begin if heat and cold are new to you.
It is also the pool people come back to between cycles. Warm down after the plunge, then decide whether you are going again.
You will find us in Sandgate, on Brisbane's northside, and the pool is part of every session rather than an add on.
Who it suits: First-timers, anyone nervous about heat or cold, sore bodies, and anyone who wants the quietest thing in the building.
How we run it
- Shower before getting in. It keeps the water right for everyone.
- No glass, no food, no phones.
- Get out and cool down if you start feeling lightheaded.
- Water is available in the room. Use it.
Why people use it
Getting warm properly
Contrast works better when you are genuinely warm first. The pool is the easiest way there.
Sore, tight bodies
Warm water takes load off joints in a way a sauna bench does not.
Staying a while
You can sit in a warm pool far longer than a hot sauna. For a lot of people that is the whole appeal.
Skin
Mineral bathing is a long tradition for a reason, though we will not overclaim what an hour in a pool does.
★★★★★
“We have visited Iremia many times since it opened in 2024. Wonderful staff, excellent, clean facilities. Large warm spa and magnesium cold plunge plus a sauna and rinse area. Always a relaxing place to visit.”
★★★★★
“It's a smaller space, which I actually love because it keeps things quiet and means you're not dealing with big crowds.”

Common questions
What temperature is it?
Warm rather than hot, comfortable for a long sit. Ask at reception for the exact figure on the day.
Is it chlorinated?
The pools are treated and tested to keep them safe. Ask our team if you would like the detail.
Can I just use the pool?
Yes. Every session gives you the whole room and you use as much or as little of it as you want.
